Abstrtact

The propagation of wave packets of quantum particles through porous structures in thin semi-transparent films is studied. Numerical solution of the nonstationary Schrödinger equation is used in two-dimensional (for slits) and three-dimensional (round holes) cases. The transmission coefficient of quantum particles is compared with that of classical particles with the same density distribution. The vortex motion of the flux density having a hydrodynamic analog is studied. A variant of the “quantum caustic” is considered upon scattering of the particle wave packet at an obstacle.
